A league of over 20 armed policemen reportedly invaded the residence of the former Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta Affairs, Mr. Kingsley Kuku in Ese- Odo Local Government area of Ondo State on Thursday.
According to Vanguard, residents of the area were forced to scamper for safety when the policemen stormed the community, shooting sporadically into the air to scare people away.
The Ondo State Police Command confirmed the presence of armed security operatives at Mr. Kuku’s residence. The Public Relations Officer of the state command, Mr. Femi Joseph, disclosed that the officers were doing their “lawful duty in the state.”
A resident of the area, who pleaded anonymity, confirmed the story to the press, saying; “Policemen forcefully broke into every room and everywhere in the house claiming to be in search of kidnappers. After combing all the rooms in the house in a commando style, they left without any incriminating thing or any kidnapper in the house.’
